Debt consolidation is an effort
to combine debts from several
creditors, then take out a single loan
to pay them all, hopefully
at a reduced interest rate and lower
monthly payment.
If you start
at the maximum term you eliminate one variable — if your
creditors want
to ask for a change
to your offer they may ask you
to increase your
monthly payment.
You make one
monthly payment to the consumer credit counseling company, and the company then dispurses the funds
to each of your
creditors but
at a reduced interest rate.
One last advantage
to an online unsecured consolidation loan is that it will combine all your loans into one manageable
monthly payment, paid
to one
creditor,
at one time of the month, and
at one interest rate; all of which can make your financial life easier.
And consolidating your debts yourself is an advantage because all of your
creditors will be paid off
at once, leaving you with just the one
monthly payment to make
to just one
creditor.
(1) If an individual assents
to a plan that contemplates that
creditors will reduce finance charges or fees for late
payment, default, or delinquency, the provider may charge: (A) a fee not exceeding $ 50 for consultation, obtaining a credit report, setting up an account, and the like; and (B) a
monthly service fee, not
to exceed $ 10 times the number of
creditors remaining in a plan
at the time the fee is assessed, but not more than $ 50 in any month.
Make sure you make
at least the minimum
monthly payment to all
creditors, and if there are extenuating circumstances that make it impossible
to make a
payment, call your
creditor to discuss options.
Another word of warning — if you end up in Court
at the end of your bankruptcy because you fail
to perform your duties properly, the Court may very well order you
to make additional
payments to your
creditors equal
to the
monthly amount you were able
to save during the bankruptcy.
